Atrangi Re

What worked: The movie marks a very essential move regarding the mental health issues, and the movie mostly does justice with its added gloried elements. And it does work on the favor. Movie felt fresh also in regards to its narrative. The first act was phenomenal, making it a very watchable piece of work. Rehman's scores are well edited, which makes it a better version of itself. Dhanush deserves an applaud. Sara surprised me, and her casting in the movie is well calculated and needed flavor. The makers made a very pleasant and heartfelt movie, without making it too cliche and also not making it too classy. It's a well written work, well acted and edited piece of work, so we can say it's a well made movie. The overall impact is heartfelt and warm.

What did not work: What stands out is that some plot holes and some needed redrafting in the screenplay. I think it is fine but at the end of the movie , that's something I felt; only if the narratives were slightly cared for. And the movie loses a grip slightly which could have been taken care by cutting down the run time , and crisping it.

Final verdict: if not for the some glitches, it's a great movie which deserves definitely a watch.

Enjoyable content throughout the whole film. AR Rahman music definitely holds the film. Dhanush, Sara, Akshay played their roles well. Definitely a success for an OTT release!

This movie brings a rare story with a good cast and fine acting. In simple words, Atrangi Re is way more than being your routine love triangle. A very welcoming change for Bollywood to learn how you can tell an age-old story in so many different ways.

The 1st half of the movie is exactly what its trailer promised to be and that's why I didn't like it much. I didn't like Sara's acting, unrealistic writing of the characters specially of Dhanush. Only I liked the music which is the biggest plus point of this film. Then suddenly, a twist came and I started to like the film. But, it didn't last long as the storyline was being dragged.

The things I loved the most are - superb acting of Dhanush, Ashish Verma, the core concept of the film & the songs. In my opinion, Sara was given a very strong character but she couldn't do full justice to it. They should've taken a better actor.

Finally, Atrangi Re is really a good movie but it could've been much better.

Available on Disney+ Hotstar.

A movie trying to tackle psychological issues. We have seen better, more scientific depictions. But you can watch the movie for Dhanush. His acting was so good -- in many scenes he expresses mixed feelings so effectively. Even light scenes in which he cries while laughing due to laughing gas; to the scene in which he expresses love to Sara in Tamil!

Sara can't act. Anand L Rai should have looked for a more expressive heroine, especially in a heroine oriented movie like this. Akshay has done his part well, but anyway nothing much for him to do.

2+ hours of entertainment if you are not expecting anything in depth.
